Making the Most of Mucus
Just the name itself will make you giggle. It's a great word that conjures visions of slime and
unpleasantness. It is perhaps the most annoying part of having a cold or allergies. Mucus, however,
plays a very important role in defense of our bodies and our health. In fact, it's high time mucus got
a lot more respect.
First, there are some amazing facts about mucus that are worthy of respect. Humans produce
about a liter of mucus every day, whether they are sick or not. Bony fish and some invertebrates
(snails or slugs) also have mucus cells on the outside of their body. This external mucus creates a
protective coating that prevents predators' toxins from doing harm. Humans produce mucus to
protect our stomachs, our lungs, and several other systems.
We tend to not like mucus because it is a considered a symptom or sign that something is wrong.
We usually only see it when we are sick, and so we tend to dislike it. According to Michael M.
Johns, III, MD, however, "mucus is incredibly important for our bodies." Johns, an assistant
professor at Emory University, calls mucus "the oil in the engine" of our bodies. Without mucus, our
engines, or bodies, would freeze up and stop working properly.

Furthermore, mucus is not just the nasty gunk you see when you are sick. It lines the tissues in
your mouth, your nose, throat, and lungs. It also is crucial in protecting your digestive system.
Mucus puts a protective coating over the surfaces of these tissues, keeping them moist. Most of
the time we don't notice mucus is making our lives better. It does its job quietly, making everything
run smoothly, keeping our inner tissues soft and flexible enough to fight off invaders.
Occasionally, though our mucus-making membranes go into overdrive. If you eat a hot pepper, your
mucus membranes in your mouth and throat start producing extra mucus to protect you. If you
come into contact with pollen, you may get a runny nose and start sneezing and coughing. When
these things happen, your mucus systems start making more fluids to wash away the irritating
particles. Mucus also has some antibodies that increase our ability to fight off bacteria and viruses.
It's hard to appreciate what is essentially slime, but we have mucus for some very good reasons. It
helps to keep us healthy and lets us know when our bodies are under attack. We would be wise to
respect what our bodies do to keep us safe. So the next time you find yourself reaching for a tissue,
remember mucus is your friend and ally.

What's in a Name?
Mucus is a great word, not only because it gives name to an important bodily function, but also
because it is one of those words that simultaneously makes you feel grossed-out and giggly.
Other words for this powerfully important hurnan-health tool include slime and phlegm. Slang
words for mucus include boogers and snot. All of these words have the same giggle-power,
simply from the combination of consonants and vowels. By the way, mucus is an old word; it's
been around since the mid-1600s and has roots back to Latin (mucere, to be moldy or musty)
and Greek (myxa, mucus). While you may assume that words like snot and boogers are
relatively new slang terms, they are not. Snot dates to 1560 and comes from an Old English
word, gesnot, and has the same root as the word snout. The word booger is not quite as old but
has been in use since the 1890s.

A. The word mucus is silly.

3.) The comparison between ships and gulls adds to the development of the following passage
(paragraphs 4-5) mainly by explaining that.
We watched until the boats became a row of tiny white gulls on the horizon. Our vigil would end when
they slipped over the edge and disappeared. You had to squint against the glare to keep them sighted,
and with every blink you expected the last white speck to be gone.
But this time they didn't disappear. They kept floating out there, suspended, as if the horizon had
finally become what it always seemed to be from shore: the sea's limit beyond which no man could
sail. They floated a while, then they began to grow, tiny gulls becoming boats again, a white armada
cruising toward us.
A. the boats are harmless
B. the boats normally become small-looking before they disappear beyond the horizon
C. gulls usually occupy the horizon when the boats disappear
D. government ships are not intimidating in the distance

In the excerpt from "The Negro Artist and the Racial Mountain," in which sentence does Hughes indicate that musicians and writers should work without any concern about judgment? An artist must be free to choose what he does, certainly, but he must also never be afraid to do what he might choose. But, to my mind, it is the duty of the younger Negro artist, if he accepts any duties at all from outsiders, to change through the force of his art that old whispering “I want to be white,” hidden in the aspirations of his people, to “Why should I want to be white? I am a Negro—and beautiful!” So I am ashamed for the black poet who says, “I want to be a poet, not a Negro poet,” as though his own racial world were not as interesting as any other world. We build our temples for tomorrow, strong as we know how, and we stand on top of the mountain, free within ourselves.
